Down 2.2lbs this week...checking in at 185

I think losing 25lbs in less than a month is great!

Yay! Congrats! I waited until my pants were falling off of me, had my belt on the last hole before I bought new ones! One of my co-workers said "Wow, your pants really show your weight loss!" I interpreted that as "Wow, your pants are falling off your a*&". I figured it was time! I was down 2 sizes too! Keep up the great work!

Yummy! I made homemade pizza last night, a very similar recipe, except I used whole grain tortillas and chicken sausage.

Mine is just below my sternum and to the right... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk

I just finished my chicken parmesan meatloaf, it was great and perfectly portioned.The kids really liked it too! The only thing I did differently is substitute the eggs for egg substitute. I also made a side of sauteed mushrooms and green beans. Thanks for the sharing the recipe!

I got the go ahead for regular food today I think I will make these tonight! Thanks for sharing.

I took almost 3 weeks off, but mostly because I could. My Dr. recommends 2 weeks and I think I started feeling like myself again around day 9.

Congrats! Thanks for sharing, I love success stories!

The first time I went out to eat after being banded, I couldn't believe how much food was on my plate! Before being banded I wouldn't even have noticed, but after eating from a small plate, I was like Wow! It took me 3 days to eat it! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using LapBandTalk
